If you owe for past due service, you may have the opportunity to make an arrangement with Ameren Missouri and avoid disconnection of your utility service. Our online payment assistance tool provides eligible payment assistance options based on your account status.

 

A Deferred Payment Agreement is a long-term installment payment option on active accounts for outstanding balances or for customers who need more time to pay a balance.
The full amount due must be received by your bill's due date to avoid default. The Payment Agreement will default if the payment is not received on time, including both the full amount of the current bill and the full amount of the installment.

A line item on your bill will show the amount remaining on your payment agreement, as well as the number of installments remaining.
